New cpu and fitting

[arc@css]

Hallo,

At the end of the month I'll be getting a new cpu and am thinking of attempting to put it together myself From reading other peoples' experiences, it would seem that it isn't that difficult. Am I right or not? Would you have to make a big mistake in order to cause problems or is it a finer and trickier job? Otherwise I may just pop in to my local shop and have it done that way.

Thanks.

Suppose I have to learn one way or another so I probably will take the plunge.

Thanks. Just had a look at Gigabyte's specifications and the cpu that I most likely will be getting, the Q9650, should be fine. Not a bad idea about the CMOS reset.

For the first time it can be a help to grab yourself one of those step by step books. They sell them at local pc world shops. Explains the basics , what your aiming to do while explaining it all to you as you build.

I originally bought one about 6 years back now when i first started building. I got a Haynes pc manual ... yeah the same as the car ones. Great manual.

Have a look.
